GOP Senators Want Trump To Release Epstein Files Even If He's In Them
HuffPost
Ted Cruz said Trump should "absolutely" release the documents "and also the P. Diddy files," adding, "We deserve to know who is implicated in abusing children.”
Donald Trump signed an executive order last week to declassify documents related to the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Sen. Robert F. Kennedy and the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., and now some Republican senators want more.
Trump, these GOP senators say, should also declassify documents related to accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, a financier whom the president described as a “terrific guy” in a 2002 interview with New York magazine.
Although Trump hinted in September he would release the Epstein files if elected, he didn’t include them in his executive order on the JFK, RFK and MLK files.
Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) told the Bulwark that he’d like to see the files, and doesn’t know why Trump hasn’t released them yet.
“If I talk to him, I’ll ask him, but I’d like to see them. I’ll be the first in line [to read them],” said Kennedy, who isn’t related to the assassinated president and senator.
